Blackpool v Leeds

by Timothy Masters

Blackpool take on Leeds on Thursday 26th December, 2013, with kickoff at 17:15. This match is currently being shown LIVE on Sky Sports 1 .

The Championship has two of the bigger sides to offer this holiday evening, and given that they’ll be going up against the Liverpool v Man City game for ratings you’d say that’s probably a good decision from the schedulers. Leeds are on a very good run of form right now, but Blackpool want to return to the big time as soon as possible, and still have a lot of staff on board from their last campaign.

Both teams will be hopeful of a place in the play-off spots come the end of the year, and this could be an important day in the eventually story of that quest.
